The long awaited new album of the Violet Burning: "Faith and Devotions of a Satellite Heart"  is finally available through the official website. The album features a collection of beautiful songs that can truly be qualified as modern worship. You will definitely recognize the Violet Burning sound but this album will also surprise you with some nice electronic magic and some raw distortion. Overall it could be the Violets best ever. But most of all: let yourself be drawn closer to the "Maker of the Stars" by this record.

The Violets are preparing for another Europe trip. Playing at the Flevo Festival and the Stairway to Heaven club in Utrecht again, Dutch Violet fans will have enough chances to enjoy the current, very strong lineup. High expectations have risen to hear the new drummer Charles (Chuck) Cummings who recently joined the rhythm section. The Violets will close this year's festival Saturday night but some special moments in the famous La Luna tent are also guaranteed.

Tickets for this years Stairway show can only be bought Saturday night at the festival. Last year the entrance was free, leaving some 300 people outside the club, disappointed until the Violets came out to play an acoustic version of Low in front of the many people that couldn't be let in. This year tickets will be fl.10,- (4,5$). Make sure you buy them or have someone else buy the tickets for you. The Violets will play together with Cush that evening.

Welcome at the Violet Underwater!

The band just completed a short European tour playing festivals in Germany and the Netherlands. This marked the first time Europe could enjoy prodigal son Andy Pricket and the excellent new drummer Daniel Ponce playing with the Violet Burning In Holland the band started the show with a robotic-dance choreography, sang a Dutch Christmas-hymn and almost watched the venue burn down because of an accident in the crowd. Holland is eagerly waiting the return of the band next March when they will come over for a two week Europe-trip, probably playing the Netherlands, Germany, Great-Britain, and Belgium, together with the Scandinavian band Glorybox.
